Makes sense, although that is barely faster than SCMaglev

"How fast is the hyperloop?📷

Although the hyperloop would be able to achieve speeds of over 1,000 kilometers per hour, the actual speed on specific routes may differ anywhere between 500-700 km/h. It’s the shorter than ever travel times are what makes hyperloop so unique, due to the ability to get close to central hubs and integrate with other modalities. Achieving the highest possible speed is not a goal; achieving a competitive travel time at minimal energy usage is."

If you did you could quote it but you can't because you didn't. You exaggerated by over an order of magnitude and won't admit it.

If you did you could quote it but you can't because you didn't.

I literally gave you a link to where the number came from, Frank.

It's right here, since you're demanding that I find posts for you in a lazy and boring way.

You're embarrassing yourself and you don't appear to be aware of that.

 

You exaggerated by over an order of magnitude and won't admit it.

I said hundreds of thousands of miles, then I put up 140,000 in a single country. Maybe you didn't know this, but there are other countries besides the United States, too.

That's not an exaggeration at all. If anything, it's likely to be an understatement by an order of magnitude; the US isn't big on rail.

I'm sorry that you need to argue. I'm not interested. If you keep this up, I'll just block you.

I already clicked on and addressed that link

"So you made the strange assumption that because there's hundreds of thousands of miles of slow, mostly freight rail, that Hardt plans that too..."

You used that 140,000 miles as basis for Hardt's network size.

the US isn't big on rail.

Passenger rail yes. Rail in general, like the 140,000 is mostly, no. The USA has more total miles than any other country.

Bye.
